This is what I would do if I were king.
1. All egos aside, merge both clubs(the last thing I need is another forum to look at). Instead of
Big Town over here and
Little Lamplight over there, I think we will be much more successful working together and with higher numbers we can lock down better venues.
2. I like the current name and it has an established rep in the community and its original so I say we keep it. SECCS and Flat4 can be "allies" like the USA and France(before 9/11) without having to make different chapters everywhere.
3. Be more flexible about the meet location and meet time. I never get to go to any meets because of the night they are on so maybe switch it up to Tuesday or something. I think these Flat4 guys have a lot to offer the club in the way of support and making people feel welcome at meets.
I think the best part of the Subaru community is being able to network with people that you would normally never meet. For example, I borrowed Rob and Will's transmission jack and while we were talking about beer, Will mentioned that he needed to make a stand for his setup. I told him that I could help with getting materials for his stand. So right there we each got a hook-up that we normally wouldn't have. I could go on like this about almost every member that I have ever met. I think we are missing the boat here if we don't take advantage of the situation.
Oh and Flat4, if you guys decide to keep your forum, let me make a new front page for you. The one you have now has got me cracking up.(no offense to whoever made it)
